3 Ways To Be More Successful with Google AdWords

1. Establish a goal and associate metrics with it. Francoise Brougher, Vice President of Global SMB Sales and Operations offers the advice that online marketing companies need to understand what business goal you are trying to achieve through the use of Google AdWords. Some examples of goals are driving traffic to your website, getting website visitors to fill out a form, or getting internet sales for your products on your website. Once you have a goal defined, it’s easy to associate a metric with it which can be tracked in Google Analytics.
2. Know where to find your audience. The world is huge, but are you able to market or sell your services to the world effectively? This may not make sense for most businesses and one of the benefits of using Google AdWords is geo-targeting the traffic will see your advertisements online. Understanding where your audience is and how they use the internet can help your AdWords success. One thing to think about is who is using mobile vs. desktop to view your website and how are they using it. In some instances, the mobile audience may be vastly different from the audience using a desktop computer, thus requiring different messaging and ads, or maybe even a different product.
3. Tell your story using a quality ad. Make sure your ads are aligned with your products and services. This will improve the user’s experience in addition to click-through rates. Creative matters for your ads so providing a good description is an effective way to get the right message to the audience you are targeting.
